UK Fines Dixons Carphone for Massive Breach

UK regulators fine Dixons Carphone for massive breach that exposed millions of payment card details and personal data due to point-of-sale malware. Data included full names, postcodes, email addresses and failed credit checks from internal services. Breach occurred before the EU began enforcing the strict General Data Protection Regulation privacy law in May 2018, which allows for a maximum fine of 500,000, which the Information Commissioners Office selected. This is the second time in two years that the retailer has been fined for a breach.”]
